Prerequisites

Clients must have ‘Admin Access’ to the portal/website.
Clients must have activated the Add-On service for the portal/website.

Where will the Banners be displayed on the client’s website?

Normally, client’s Logo is displayed at 4 places on the client’s website.

The placement details are as follows:

Homepage Offer Ads – These appear at the top of the Homepage. Clients can run a slideshow of different banners as Homepage Offer Ads. As they are the ‘ first information’ to be seen by potential customers, our team of designers ensures that they ‘catchy’ and to the point.
Masthead – The Banner to be placed below the Offer Ads. For the Masthead, EduGorilla designers usually prefer a concise tagline that perfectly captures the essence of the business. But it can be customized according to the customer.
Slider – Another slide show at the bottom of the Homepage. Usually EduGorilla Designers display the business ‘offerings’ to the visitors so that a lasting impression could be created before the visitors leave the Homepage. It too can be customized however the customer wants it to be.
Footer Banner – The last Banner on the Homepage. A perfect place to display the achievements of the business or display the positive citations by customers.
